I think it'd be a GREAT idea to have weekly challenges to keep everyone motivated!
ANY type of exercise is better than NO exercise! no matter how slow you think you are, you are still lapping everyone on the couch!
Let's say for example, we start Monday or the Monday after Christmas-- Week 1 could be "10 mile week"
Whether its riding a bike, walking, jogging, or running--get out there and complete 10 miles in the first week. It doesnt have to be done all in one day! Split it up and if 10 miles isn't enough, go beyond that and do more! Just a thought....
what do you all think???

    What a great idea! Although I may not be able to walk a mile due to my back, but a I can make it a goal to walk everyday :) Weekly challenges would definitely keep it interesting and fun.

    My vote is since Wednesdays are our "weigh-in" days it also be the date that we kick off our weekly challenges!! SO...how about we make tomorrow day 1 & let's do the 10 mile challenge!! (I loved that!)

    Great idea!!!! Tomorrow it is!!! We can make a topic each week-- "Week 1: 10 mile Challenge" then everyone can post under it what they did, if they did any extra, examples for next week. I have so many ideas!!!!

    For those who cannot do high impact cardio they should try the 10 000 steps a day challenge wearing a pedometer and ensuring you do 10 000 steps a day. I used to do this and it really helped with being conscious as to how to move more!
